Of this Is frequently met with. Passing
through . beautiful section Of country
recently. attention was drawn to an un-
usually One house, and while it was fine
In the best sense of the word It was
found to be In good proportion and in
good taste, showing that 1t had been
planned by . competent architect. 1t
was a pleasure to look at it, and more
than one traveller must have refined in
his steed to enjoy it's beauties. But the
grounds were i'm sad contrast. Scarcely
anything had been done In the way Of
arboreal adornment. Suppose now that
only one thousand Of the twenty thou
sand dollars 1t was understood the man
sion cost had been appropriated to the
establishment Of the grounds-how
great would have been the Improvement!
Gradually, but slowly the public taste is
coming over on the right side, and while
architectural beauty Is not lost sight of
more attention is being given to the lawn
and to the planting of beautiful trees
and flowers, MS well as the many differ
ent classes of choice fruits. All these
cost money, 1t is true, but 1t is money
we'll laid out.
How TO TREAT BALKY HoRsE.-The
following different ways Of treating
balky horses are recommended. First.
Pat the horse on the neck, examine him
carefully, first one side, then the other;
If you can get him handful of grass
give it to him and speak encouragingly
TO him. Then jump in the wagon and
give the word 20 and he will generally
obey. Second. Taking the horse out
of the shafts and turning him around in
circle until he is giddy will generally
start him. Third. Another way to cure
balky horse is, place your hand over
his nose and shut off his wind until he
wants to 60. Fourth. Then again, take
a couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the forelegs just below the knee, tight
bow knot; at the first click he will prob
ably 20 dancing of. After going short
distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the ten
dons. Fifth. Again, you can try the
following: Take the tail Of the horse
between the legs and tie it by cord to
the saddle girth. Sixth. The last RENE
dy know is as follows: Tie string
around the horses ear, close to the head,
this will divert his attention and start
him.
To PREVENT FOUNDER FROM OVER.
FEEDING and consequent
laundering, is one OF those things more
easily prevented than cured. The re
suits Of the total disarrangement of the
system by the impaction of the stomach
and bowels cannot be wholly avoided,
but they may be ameliorated by judi
eious treatment. No water is to be given.
or the food would swell and ferment,
and rupture the stomach, with very
quickly fatal results. A large dose OF
raw linseed oil is the best remedy, and
quart is the right quantity. This causes
the election Of the undigeSted matter
and the relief of the intestines. The
after treatment is of Importance; the
stomach wants rest, and feeding should
be wholly suspended for twenty-four
hours, when quart Of oatmeal Cruel
only should be given. One quart OF
this at a meal is sufficient for the next
day, after which regular feeding should
be approached gradually and cautiously.
The resulting stiffness of the fore limbs
should be treated by thirty-drop doses
of aconite and hot lamentations, and
rubbing Of legs and feet with some &C
tive liniment.

ten oranges and sprinkle sugar over
them. Make corn starch custard and
pour it over the oranges. Put the whites

again. Then beat up four eggs and put
